iPad Mini: Protective film covers front mic

[ant2009]

Hello,

I bought a protective film for my iPad mini. The guy in the shop put it on for me. However, I noticed that the film covers the front mic. He told me this doesn't matter.

Is Is it okay to cover the Mic?

Thanks,

Try it and see if it works. If it doesn't, then peel the film back a little and cut an appropriate slot/hole.

Job done

Does the Mic still work?

If you intend to use that mic for anything you care about, I wouldn't leave it covered. I'm sure it will "work", just like a camera with greasy finger prints on the lens will work, but not like it's supposed to.

Regards,
Tom

There's no front mic on the mini. What are you talking about?

It's definitely ok to cover the front mic, especially since it doesn't exist.

I'm guessing you mean the camera and it's okay to cover it.

Maybe I am wrong about the mic being next to the front facing camera (left side of the camera)

It looked like a mic. However, I think it could be a sensor instead.

Correct me if I am wrong.

It's the ambient light sensor, not a mic.

my suggestion, lose the protective film. Its useless.
